Well, not the examples at SW, just the name of the signs so you can read the word at English and learn how to do the sign at portuguese sign language :)

SignWriting ListOctober 22, 2012
Hello Rafaela -Oh I forgot you wanted to translate all the examples for us - that must be a big job - remember it is good for us to learn Portuguese and your sign language too (big grin ;-) - 
No rush at all -  and enjoy your work - 
Is there anyone on the SignWriting List who plans to attend the TISLR 11 in London?
Val ;-)

You're right, I will contact the person that you suggest, thank you.

SignWriting ListOctober 22, 2012
Hi Rafaela -Great to hear from you. Regarding the TISLR 11, I just forwarded the information to the SignWriting List. It was actually sent to the SLLING List, as you can see below. So we are not the people who know these answers. Although I hope there will be some SignWriting presentations at TISLR 11...
I would suggest writing to the person who sent the message to the SLLING List…as you can see below, her name is Robin Thompson. Her email is below…
We hope to read your work someday, Rafaela, so don't forget us ;-))
Val ;-)

I was watching the conference site and I got a question: does anyone know if the authors who make presentations also pay to participate? I'm asking this because the information online is not so clear. 

Thank you,Rafaela
